Conversations with Simone

Today we’d like to introduce you to Simone.

Hi Simone, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I began my career in beauty in 2015, working primarily in makeup and quickly falling in love with the power it has to shift confidence and presence. Over time, I became especially drawn to brows and how such a small detail could completely frame the face and elevate any look. That curiosity turned into focused education and training, and eventually into Made Official Brow Artistry, where I’ve built a brand centered on precision, safety, and intentional beauty. What started as makeup artistry has grown into a full brow-focused practice offering advanced services and professional education, but the foundation has always been the same: creating a space where clients feel seen, cared for, and confident. Today, I’m continuing to grow Made Official with a clear vision blending affordable luxury, community, and expertise in a way that feels both elevated and accessible.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No, it hasn’t been a smooth road at all. The journey has been filled with realignment, often uncomfortable, often humbling. I’ve learned that purpose doesn’t always unfold gracefully, and that growth sometimes requires surrender. Allowing God to truly lead, rather than relying on my own understanding, has been one of the hardest but most grounding parts of this process. Entrepreneurship comes with well-known challenges, but what’s talked about far less is what keeps you steady through it all. For me, that’s remaining malleable, staying rooted in faith, and continually asking for the discernment to see and hear what’s meant for me, even when the path isn’t clear.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m the founder and lead artist behind Made Official Brow Artistry, where I specialize in precision brow services and professional education. My work focuses on services like brow sculpting, lamination, staining, and advanced permanent makeup, all rooted in safety, customization, and long-term brow health. I’m known for creating results that are elevated yet natural, and for cultivating a space where clients feel both cared for and confident. What I’m most proud of is building a brand that prioritizes education just as much as aesthetics; not only for my clients, but for artists I train as well. What sets me apart is my intentional approach: I don’t rush results, I don’t follow trends blindly, and I lead with integrity, consistency, and a deep respect for the craft.

What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
The most important lesson I’ve learned is to put God first and always remain a student of the craft. No matter how much experience I gain, there is always more to learn. About the industry, the business, and myself. Staying teachable keeps me grounded, sharp, and aligned, while leading with faith keeps my purpose clear. That combination has allowed me to grow with integrity rather than ego, and to build something sustainable, not just successful.
